Police have named stripper, escort and gay porn performer Luka Rocco Magnotta, 29, as the prime suspect in the dismemberment murder of a Montreal man. The victim's torso was discovered Tuesday morning inside a suitcase next to a garbage dump.
Authorities also confirmed on Wednesday that the severed foot mailed to the Conservative Party of Canada headquarters in Ottawa did indeed belong to the victim.
A second package containing the victim's hand was later discovered by investigators at the Ottawa Postal Terminal, where it was addressed to be delivered to the Liberal Party of Canada.
According to the Montreal Gazette, police have obtained video of the grisly murder and have declared Magnotta's second floor apartment residence in Snowdon, closely located to where the victim's torso was found, a crime scene.
Magnotta, who was romantically linked to Canadian serial killer Karla Homolka in 2007, got his start in porn doing webcam shows in Los Angeles at the age of 20. In a 2010 interview with NowPublic.com, he reflected on his career in adult and offered insightful advice to those looking to follow in his footsteps.
"This is a great business and you can make a lot of money, however, you have to realize that after age 30 your career is basically over," he told the site. "Have a backup plan for when the party is over, because no one can stay young forever. This has been my biggest issue in life.
Canadian police now belive the Suspect has fled the country to France.
UPDATE: Luka Magnotta has a blog.
Here is something he wrote on his blog:
Why are people afraid of sex? Afraid of any sort of nudity? I cant understand this. It is absurd to me. If you do porn, or you appear in a magazine naked, happy to show your beautiful body, this is a bad thing? However children can play violent videogames virtually murdering and killing each other, heinous murder movies and television programming brainwashes the masses on a daily basis and everyone just accepts what they see as normal. Is everyone else crazy or is it just me?
Luka Magnotta- The post was from August 2010.
UPDATE: The murder victim is an Asian male. There is a snuff video being passed around that shows the murder.
UPDATE: There are reports Luka fled Canada to France. Interpol has added him to their list of international fugitives.
UPDATE: The National Post reported – Luka left a note left in the box with the severed foot warning authorities of 5 other packages. (One package with a hand was found this week). In a note Luka said he planned on killing again.
